When I was younger, many moons ago, love meant very little to me. I said the words
"I love you" because it might get me laid. And it worked; but it wasn't love.

I know now that the words had lttle real meaning for me until I had children. It was at that point that I truly understood what love was all about. And I still have the same feelings for them today, only stronger.

The love that I have for my wife, dr. blue is real. She is my soulmate; my lover. But nothing compares to the love that a parent has for a child. That's what true love is for me.

I think you've hit it right on the mark. I feel very similar about my son. I don't have religious faith in God but I do have faith in my son, that he loves me.

I think it's easy to form a picture of True Love in one's mind, then go about like trying to match someone up to that definition. I struggle with the concept of love (other than as it applies to my son).
 
That was nice to read, Blue. Thanks.

Love means everything to me these days. Whether it is love of music, love of a person and, especially, love of my children.

Do I understand love? I'm trying. The innocent love of children is pure and unconditional. Romantic love is a tougher nut to crack.

I was in true love when I was 15. When we broke up I died inside and started mourning. I got married when I was 16 and still felt dead inside---until I had my daughter. She made me come alive again. Then my twins came and I felt complete. My marriage is ending but who cares, I have my health, my children and someone in my life who makes me feel like when I was 15 again. Its scary but at least I know more now than before. My kids are #1 but at least I come in a close 2nd ;)
